When rumors of war loom
And fears are mounting
I will not despair
Amid the chaos
I know
Who holds the reigns
And in childlike faith
I chase butterflies
Through green fields
Made fresh
By recent rains

Songbird,
So many are living in fear right now, because they dont have the calming love of God. Satan will always use fear against us. Sometimes that can be the hardest thing to do I think; to replace the fear with the trust in the Lord. After all we are just human.
Thank you for you inspirational poem of strength.

This is beautiful, very sad that so many waste the glory of today by fearing future history. Thanks for the reminder.

I loved this as it echos my sentimants exactly - take time to enjoy what is now, and not worry about what may never be. Enjoyed this so much.

Songbird: This is so well said! Each day is too precious to spend it cowering from what might or might not happen!

(Smiles) I've got my net right here ready to go!!! So very contrary to the voices of the world around us. I think God's voice is so much less troublesome and if He happens to say let's go catch some butterflies, then by golly lets go do it!!! (Amen)

What faith you have! I long to be like that, to be able to trust in the future and to live as a child, knowing our Father has everything in His care...

Oh, make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never ever
Outlive my love for Thee
